The AR134 is only one heat range below the hottest range for that plug. A heat range typically changes the tip temp about 100 degress F. So if these are soaking wet, I'd be inclined to look at the mixture ratio more-so than the plug heat range at this point.

Are the RV8C's a short plug or long.I'm used the ar134's because there short to work with my headers because the bowtie heads are angle plugged so the don't leave much room with my headers .

Are they fouling with fuel or oil, or busting up? The former would need a higher heat range to get'em and keep'em clean. It they are busting up it would mean detonation or preignition in which case a hotter plug would be the wrong direction to go.

The carb is borrowed so unsure of the jets probably factory its a holley 750 vacuum secondary.the cam us a comp extreme energy. 12-677-4 advertised duration 274/280 with .501/510 lift and i have 1.6 roller rockers.i know carb had a kit in it last fall.my main concern is i have been told the ar134 plugs are not a hot enough plug for the compression i have now.on new plugs car runs good 8.15 in the 1/8 at 86mph but after 20 to 30 passes plugs are dead .wondering if a different plug would help this.i would like to stick with autolite if i could.
